- 2021 NFL Draft Edge Rankings Re-Evaluated
2021 NFL Draft Edge Rankings Re-Evaluated As we move through the pro days and hear the noise of outlandish forty times and verticals through the roof, I have personally gone through and done more research on every position. The Football Scout 365 Big Board Don't forget to check out the full Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Big Board. After Further Review NFL Draft Edition On YouTube You can check out our Football Scout 365 After Further Review NFL Draft Edition on Youtube. We have five shows so far, three covering the QB position where I break down and connect the dots between player skillset and what the player displays on film in relation to such buzzwords like arm talent, arm angle, pocket presence etc. Go To The NFL Draft Guide To View More Content by Clicking Here. What I look for when evaluating a Edge. The Role In a 3-4 (Edge Players) An edge defender in a 3-4 scheme is often in a two-point stance, like a LB. They are to be versatile; needing them to be able to pass rush and pass cover on any given down is a big deal in the NFL. You will also hear terms such as rush LB or sam LB. The rush LB always lines up on the weak side (opposite TE side). Their primary goal is to rush the QB. The Sam LB lines up opposite of the Rush LB. They play on the strong side of defense (TE side). The Sam LB must be strong at the point of attack; the Sam LB focuses on stopping the run while accounting for their area in pass coverage, often against the TE. The Sam LB can be a situational pass rusher, where the coordinator will surprise an offense when sending him after the QB. Other 3-4 edge rusher depictions are ROLB and LOLB. Like the rush LB and the Sam LB, they are more designated to their area and move less with the strength of the offensive formation (where TE lines up doesn't always dictate where they line up). When they are designated to be less dependent on the offensive formation's strength, they have to be versatile enough to be a Sam or a rush style player on any given play. The Role In a 4-3 (Edge Players) The 4-3 edge player is considered a more traditional DE who is responsible for the defense's edge while playing with their hand in the dirt. Some edge rushers can play in either style, while some are scheme dependent and play better with a hand down than in a two-point stance. 4-3 edge players are ordinarily bigger than those in a 3-4 scheme and are more involved as run stoppers and pass rushers and rarely are asked to drop into coverage. Player Traits and SkillSet Some of the traits I look for, speed, power, and push. The players who have both speed and power are high-level players. How they use their hands to disengage with a blocker is essential. And the last but not least area is awareness and IQ. A guy who is a student of the game, who can recognize pre-snap movements or player positioning and make adjustments to their movement post-snap are the best defenders in the NFL. Once again, Aaron Donald possesses all of these traits. 2021 NFL Draft Edge Rankings Okay, so let's dive into the Edge rankings; 1) Michigan Edge Kwity Paye 6-4 277 lbs Potential Upside Player Paye is an explosive athlete who has yet to reach his full potential. He uses a blend of speed, power, and hand usage to defeat blockers. His game is not perfect, but his ceiling is very high. Paye was not a full-time starter at Michigan until 2020. He is a player with a lot of drive and motivation that we believe can fuel him at the next level. 2) Miami Edge Jaelan Phillips 6-5 258 lbs Potential Upside Player Phillips is an exciting prospect. He was a five-star recruit who had a lot of ability when he arrived at UCLA; he had a few injuries that sidelined him and forced him to retire from football. Phillips questioned his passion for the game at one point. Phillips un-retired and transferred to Miami to get a fresh start; he had an excellent 2020. Phillips is a physical player at 6-6 260 lbs. He shines when pass rushing and against the run. He is a versatile defender who has that rare blend of speed to power off the edge that is eye-opening. He can play with his hand in the dirt or a two-point. He can rush from the interior when needed, which adds to his versatility. The big questions are, does he love the game? Can he remain healthy, and his experience. He has the tools to be a high-impact NFL starter. 3) Wake Forest Edge Carlos Basham Jr. 6-3 280 lbs Potential Upside Player A big play waiting to happen, Basham compiled 19.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles from 2018-20. He was also a force in the backfield, collecting 32 TFL's in that same span. Basham plays with power and wants to win by bullying his blocker into the QB's lap. For him to be an elite edge player in the NFL, he has to get stronger to match NFL tackle strength; he cannot try to win with power at all times if he is not stronger. He is not a flashy edge guy with many moves, which is an area where he can improve. He has what it takes to be a starter at the NFL level. He projects as a 4-3 edge player. 4) Georgia Edge Azeez Ojulari 6-3 240 lbs Potential Upside Player Azeez Ojulari is a 3-4 style Edge player who has good wheels and body control. He has a high motor and can use his speed to put tackles in conflict. He is a strong run game defender who can track down the ball carrier with his short-area quickness. Ojulari still must improve in many areas, and his projection across all NFL draft boards is based on upside. His size is a big question mark where he might not win consistently on edge vs. more physically and fleet-footed tackles. 5) Miami Edge Gregory Rousseau 6-5 260 lbs Potential Upside Player A long player who can slide inside when needed. He is not yet fully developed, but his upside is what scouts might be eyeing. He uses quick hands to disengage with blockers and can set the edge and force runs back inside. He does need to work on his strength at the next level. He was a high school WR, which explains his hand usage and his raw ability as an edge defender. His pass-rush ability might be more suited on the inside rather than trying to win the edge. He is an outstanding prospect who has the NFL size and ability to develop into an impactful starter. Another item to keep in mind, he only has one year as a starter, injured in 2018, and sat out 2020. Go To The NFL Draft Guide To View More Content by Clicking Here.

- Tale Of The Tape: New England Patriots QB Mac Jones NFL Preseason Debut
Tale Of The Tape: New England Patriots QB Mac Jones NFL Preseason Debut Stat Line: 13-19, 87 yards, 78.2 QBR Debut Grade: B- Football Scout 365 2021 NFL Draft Ranking : 15th overall, #4 overall QB Quick and Decisive Debut Mac Jones Patriots preseason debut vs. Washington Football Team began near the end of the first QTR. The starting offensive line remained on the field for the Patriots, which would allow the Patriots the best opportunity to evaluate their young signal-caller. Jones completed 13 of 19 attempts for 87 yards, 0 TD's, and 0 INT's. The plan was evident for Mac Jones, giving him quick, easy reads to get into a rhythm. Mac Jones was decisive and on target, providing NFL-level evidence of what we already knew about him coming out of Alabama. Good Decisions, No Real Wow Moments Jones didn't wow on the stat line, but he did take care of the football, and he did a great job of taking what the defense gave him, taking a check down when available. Jones did a great job navigating the pocket on a few of his longer-developing pass attempts stepping away from pressure and delivering on-target throws. His best throw, one of which could have been his first NFL TD, happened early in the 2nd QTR (13:20), where Jones throws a beauty down the sideline into the endzone to Kristian Wilkerson, who could not hold on to make the catch. Mac Jones Did Enough To Be In Consideration To Start Week One Jones played like a guy who wants to be the starter as a rookie. He already shows a good pocket presence; he proved he could take care of the football and not force throws. His quick release and decisive nature are tailor-made for this offense. Jones will get more opportunities in the next few weeks to show he does have what it takes to be the guy in New England.
- Three RB's Who Could Crack Top Five RB Status in 2020
Three RB's Who Could Crack Top Five RB Status in 2020 We know the top 5 RB's in the NFL are Christian McCaffrey, Saquan Barkley, Zeke Elliott, Alvin Kamara, and Derrick Henry, but what current NFL RB's are poised to take their game to the next level and enter into the top five tier of RB's? Nick Chubb Nick Chubb carried the football 298 times while amassing 1494 rushing yards and 8 TD's in 2019. Chubb has shown he can be a threat as a receiver out of the backfield, picking up 36 receptions on 45 targets and 278 yds in 2019. Chubb ranked 2nd among all backs in the NFL in missed tackle rate (22%), and 2nd overall in forced missed tackles among all backs with at least 100 combined targets and rush attempts. Chubb led the NFL in explosive runs (17) of 15 yds or more. He did fumble three times in 2019, and that is an area he needs to clean up. What does Chubb need to do to become a top 5 RB? He is very close to top-five status in the mainstream, and some have him in the top five. He needs to work on fumbles and continue to grow as a receiver out of the backfield in Cleveland. Josh Jacobs Jacobs had a fantastic rookie season in 2019 rushing 242 times for 1150 yards and 7 TD's. Jacobs had five total 100+ yard rushing games (6th) in 2019. As a receiver, Jacobs picked up 20 receptions on 26 targets for 166 yards. His ability to make you miss in a phone booth allowed him to lead the NFL in total forced missed tackles, and total forced missed tackle rate (29%) among RB's with a combined 100 total receiving targets and rush attempts in 2019. What does Jacobs need to do to become a top 5 RB? Jacobs is on the way to elite status. His ability to make you miss in the smallest of areas will be one of the ways he can be consistent. His usage as a receiver is expected to increase in 2020 and this is where we assume he makes the most significant leap in production and a step towards top-five RB status in the NFL. Dalvin Cook Cook has all the elite skills needed to be a top-five RB. in 2019, Cook amassed 1135 yards on 250 rush att and 13 TDs. As a receiver, he picked up 53 receptions on 62 targets and 519 yds. Cook ranked 15th in forced missed tackle rate (17%). Cooks possesses great vision and elite balance. What does Cook need to do to become a top 5 RB? Cook needs to stay healthy. He amassed his 1135 yards in 14 games a season ago and was on pace for a 285 carry season, which would have placed him in the top 5 of total carries among RB's in 2019. His total volume of 320 in 14 games would have been 356 based on his pe game averages, placing him in the top five of total volume among RB's. For daily analysis, please follow us on Instagram.

- Football Scout 365 2021 College Football All-Offensive Team And Offensive Player Of The Year
Football Scout 365 2021 College Football All-Offensive Team And Offensive Player Of The Year Our Offensive Player Of The Year Is Pitt Panther QB Kenny Pickett Kenny Pickett has risen from an average level starter to an elite level championship-winning college quarterback. Pickett arrived at Pitt in 2017 as a 3-star recruit with Pitt, BC, and Temple as his top offers. Pickett would start all 14 games of the 2018 season where he would lead Pitt to its first-ever ACC coastal division championship, and from there, he would not relinquish the starting spot as Pitt QB. 2021 Breakout Season, Pickett Used Free Covid Year To Return in 2021, And It Paid Off Since he arrived in 2017 at Pitt, Pickett has thrown for 12,303 total yards, 81 TD's to 32 INT's. From 2017 to 2020, Pickett amassed 7,984 passing yards, with 39 TD's and 25 INT's. In 2021 alone, he maxed out his potential, throwing for 4319 yards, 42 TD's and 7 INT's. In his previous four years, his QBR averaged 124.5; in 2021, his QBR is 165.3. Pickett is also a mobile player who has rushed for 801 yards and 21 total TD's in five seasons at Pitt. Kenny Pickett Becomes Pittsburgh Panthers All-Time Leader In Pass Yards And Pass TD's After returning for his 5th year of eligibility due to the free Covid year, Pickett surpassed Alex Van Pelt for the most passing yards in Pitt Football history and Dan Marino for the most passing TD's in Pitt football history. Pickett would also break the single-season passing yards and TD's record. Kenny Pickett Has Elevated His NFL Draft Stock In 2021 Click Here to View Full NFL Draft Profile The Football Scout 365 All Offensive Team QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh See above analysis RB Kenneth Walker III, Michigan State The Wake Forest Transfer arrived at Michigan State and was immediately impactful in 2021. Walker, a Heisman candidate, is a dynamic player who rushed for 1800+ yards and 18 TD's in 2021. RB Hassan Haskins, Michigan The nation's leader in rush attempts converted into a first down against eight or more defenders in the box (34), Haskins is the engine that drives the Michigan offense. WR David Bell, Purdue Big game Dave, all he does is produce in big moments. 624 of his 1286 yards as a receiver came against a top 25 opponent. Bell is also a 1st round level receiver heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. WR Skye Moore, Western Michigan A sure-handed receiver who leads the nation with only one drop, Moore amassed 1256 yards, 10 TD's, and ranked 2nd nationally in forced missed tackles (21). Moore is moving up NFL Draft boards. WR Jameson Williams, Alabama The Ohio State transfer left because Columbus's WR room was too crowded, landing 4th on the depth chart. He headed to Tuscaloosa and became WR1. In 2021, he has snagged 68 catches for 1548 yards (2nd) and 15 TD's (2nd) WR Jordan Addison, Pittsburgh The nation's leader in TD catches, Addison is Kenny Picketts WR1. TE Trey McBride, Colorado State The nation's top TE in receiving yards with 1100+, he is a sure-handed TE, a great route runner, and an excellent blocker. His draft stock in many corners of the scouting world is as high as it gets. OT Bernhard Raimann, Central Michigan Raiman has been a constant in the Central Michigan offense as a dominant run blocker and pass protector in 2021. He had nine blown blocks on the season, 1% of his total 867 snaps. IOL William Dunkle, San Diego State Dunkle is a giant at 6-5 330; the 2023 eligible draft prospect is a dominant interior run blocker for an Aztec offense that ranked 3rd in the Mountain West in rush yards in 2021. IOL Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa Linderbaum is a dominant run blocker at the center position and is the top-rated center prospect entering the 2022 NFL Draft. IOL Andrew Vorhees, USC At 6-6 320, Vorhies is a dominant interior run and pass blocker who can play guard and tackle. He is a guy to watch heading into the 2022 NFL Draft. OT Darian Kinnard, Kentucky At 6-5, 345 lbs, Kinnard is the staple on a Kentucky offense that likes to run the football. He is a highly regarded run and pass blocker who is garnering more attention ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft.
- 2020 NFL Position Group Grades
2020 NFL Position Group Grades How We Grade Position Groups We use the A, B, C grade school scale to grade each position group based on several variables. The essential variables we look for when grading include, the performance level of the starters, and the performance level of those on the bench. We grade higher based on whether you have an elite level starter combined with depth. For example, if you have one elite level wide receiver and two additional above average to good starters with one or two above-average bench players, you will be graded an A because you have an elite starter and good depth. When a team has an identical grade, for example, Team A has an A- and Team B has an A-, we break the tie using the situational team rating. The team with the highest situational team rating will be ranked higher. The situational team rating is the average of all combined position group grades.

- Five NFL WR's To Watch Out For In 2020
Five NFL WR's To Watch Out For In 2020 As we begin to project the outcome of the 2020 NFL season, we will start taking a closer look at individual players. Our first 2020 preseason player analysis begins by examining five NFL WR's to watch out for in 2020. We chose these five players based on several variables from QB play, to individual potential based on previous hype, and coaching changes that could help elevate their game to the next level. Pittsburgh WR Diontae Johnson Johnson has been the topic of conversation among fantasy football heads on Twitter in recent days and for a good reason. Johnson has the type of explosive playmaking ability that will allow Steeler fans to move on from AB fully. In 2019, Johnson averaged 8.01 yds per touch (combined rush att and pass targets). He scored two receiving TD's over 40+ yds. Johnson recorded 608 receiving yards on 86 targets (7.91 Yds Per Target, 66th among WR's with 50+ targets). His numbers do not jump off of the page, but his 2019 film proved that he has the ability to be a top WR in the NFL. Johnson played with two different backup QB's in 2019 and will now have the chance to play with Big Ben in 2020. Our early projections have Johnson accumulating 700 receiving yards in 2020 with 5 TD's, but that's a major undersell on his potential. He could quickly produce a 1000 yd receiving season with Big Ben at QB. Baltimore Ravens WR Miles Boykin Boykin didn't really flash his playmaking ability in 2019. But early on in the Ravens 2019 training camp, reports were coming out that Boykin's teammates were comparing him to Michael Thomas. In 2020, there are still high expectations for the young WR in Baltimore, and there are analysts and scouts who believe he will take the next step towards becoming a starting NFL WR. In 2019, Boykin was targeted 22 times, recording 198 receiving yds (9.0 yds per target average). He did record 3 TD catches with one of those TD's going for 40+ yards. Boykin did rank 3rd in ADOT (average depth of Target) at 17.75 yds per among WR's with at least 20 targets or more. Boykin is a physical WR at 6-4 220lbs. He has 33 1/2 arm length, which is longer than that of Michael Thomas (32 1/8). Where Boykin stands out the most is that he runs a 4.42 forty. He has the physical attributes to go along with exceptional speed. If he can become a starter in Baltimore in year two, he will benefit from Lamar Jackson's playmaking ability. Boykin is an outstanding blocker in the run game, and that earned him snaps and opportunities as a rookie. We fully expect Boykin to take the next step and become a fulltime starter in 2020. Kansas City Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson The Chiefs have a lot of weapons at their disposal, and Demarcus Robinson is a player to be on the lookout for in 2020. The Chiefs resigned Robinson to a one year deal in what feels like a make or break year for the 25-year-old former Florida Gator. In 2019, Robinson recorded 53 Targets for 449 yards and 4 TD's. He averaged 8.47 Yds per Target (42nd among WR's with 50+ Targets). He did rank higher in the yards per reception category (30th) with 14.03 yds per catch just behind fellow teammate Tyreek Hill (14.83). Robinson ranked 67th in Target's success rate (60.38) among WR's with at least 50 targets. Again, Robinson's numbers are not popping off the screen, but the word in 2019 straight from the horse's mouth (andy Reid) was that Robinson and Mahomes have chemistry and work together a lot off of the field in the offseason to improve their games. With Mecole Hardman poised to be the number two, it would not be a surprise if Robinson were to take that next step and absorb the number two role. It appears that the Chiefs are giving him one more shot to prove himself. Carolina Panther ATH Curtis Samuel I listed Samuel as an athlete because he is a "special athlete." While at Ohio State, Samuel had been utilized in a myriad of ways. He played Outside WR, the slot, or the H position at Ohio State. He would line up in the backfield at times and take carries at RB. Samuel is intriguing to me because of the Joe Brady Factor. Joe Brady is the new Offensive Coordinator under first-year NFL Head Coach Matt Rhule in Carolina. While at LSU, Brady coordinated the passing game for the Tigers and improved their offense from average to the Best in college football in just a few short months. Brady has some nice toys to work with at Carolina, and among them is Samuel, who has been somewhat pedestrian when compared to expectations. It will undoubtedly help Samuel if they can keep Teddy Bridgewater upright. In 2019, Samuel recorded 103 targets for 627 yards and 6 TD's. Samuel recorded an additional 130 yards rushing and a 1 TD. Samuel averaged 6.09 yards per target (74th among WR's with 50+ targets). Samuel did rank 12th in ADOT (14.78). His most significant opportunity in 2020 will be limiting drops (7 in 2019), and improving his target success rate of 52.43% (74th among WR's with 50+ targets). Samuel is a burner who recorded a 4.31 40 yard dash at the 2017 NFL Combine. With his combination of elite speed and open-field playmaking ability, it is exciting to think about the different ways Joe Brady will try to get him the football in space. Buffalo Bills WR John Brown Okay, John Brown is not under the radar, and he has had recent success. But with the addition of Stefon Diggs in Buffalo, Brown will be receiving less attention and therefore can expect to get a few more one on one opportunities. In 2019, Brown recorded 1014 yards on 114 targets and 6 TD's. Brown ranked 25th in yards per target (9.30) with an ADOT of 14.64 which ranked 16th among all WR's with 50+ targets. Where he could benefit the most is if Josh Allen improves his deep ball accuracy. Allen ranked at the bottom of the NFL, completing just 25% of throws beyond 20 yards. To make matters worse, Allen completed only 51% of all of his throws in 2019. Brown still has the speed to get behind coverage and will get plenty of opportunities to do so in Buffalo with the addition of Stefon Diggs. If Josh Allen can improve his deep ball accuracy (and that's a big if), you could see another 1000 yard season from John Brown and an additional 1000+ yards from Stefon Diggs.
